CORNYN ANNOUNCES ARREST OF CHILD SUPPORT EVADER

Anthony Holmes arrested in Galveston County

AUSTIN - Texas Attorney General John Cornyn today announced the arrest of Child Support Evader
Anthony Holmes of Galveston County. Holmes's case is the fourth resolved since the Attorney General
announced his new list of ten most wanted Child Support Evaders only three weeks ago.

Holmes, who owes more than $21,000 in child support for his son in Galveston County, was arrested on a
capias civil warrant for failure to appear at a child support hearing and for violating the terms of his drug-related probation.

"We have now brought to justice four of Texas' most wanted Child Support Evaders in just the past few
weeks. My office will continue working with local law enforcement officials to send the message to all
deadbeat parents that we are committed to finding them and to making them live up to their responsibilities,
or suffer the consequences," Attorney General Cornyn said.

Earlier today, Holmes was arrested by officers from the Hitchcock Police Department based on tips generated
by the publicity surrounding the announcement of the Child Support Evaders. Holmes is being held without
bond in the Galveston County Jail.

For a noncustodial parent to be placed on the Evader page, there must be a court-ordered obligation with
delinquent support in excess of $5,000 and an arrest warrant issued. The location of parent must be unknown
and the parent has not made any payments in the last 6 months. The parent must not be involved in
bankruptcy proceedings or receiving welfare benefits. To make information public, the custodial parent must
sign a confidentiality waiver and supply a picture of the delinquent parent.

hotline -- 1-800-797-5437, email -- childsupport@texasattorneygeneral.gov or by mail - Texas Child Support Evaders,
